How I Remember Almost Daily IsN News Flashes But Now I Can't Remember The Last One. To Me They Were The Story Of The Game And Added Some CharacterTo Make Th Game Feel Lifelike.

There was an ISN newsflash like, literally, 2 days ago.

They don't do them as often as they used to, but I'll bet they'll ramp 'em back up once CW hits.

Really? The most recent one turned up by the search is from May 15.

I just looked for it and I can't find it, but it was something to do with "remembering" some lady dictator who tried to kill her daughter when she thought her daughter was plotting to overthrow her*. I seriously saw it on, like, Monday or Tuesday. I'll post it up if I can find it.

*Sorry I can't be more specific, the lore was never very important to me in MW games.

Hello!

We'll see if we can get the hamster running on the wheel again. Thanks!

Hey! That hamster was powering my Commando!

Well, if it means anything, I'd love to see the ISN reports come back. They were just silly bits of fluff and rarely lasted long, but they were fun, and helped anchor the game in the BT universe, which in turn made the game feel like just a bit more than a series of deathmatch games.

That said, I would understand if they didn't come back until the timeline gets reset.

If they were to implement a dynamic BT universe time flow, then there wouldn't be an artificial constraint to content delivery dates. The flow of time would comply with content rollout. That doesn't mean there couldn't be any day=day flow when it makes sense to do so. I envision a big "Today is 20 Apr 3050" on some page devoted to the back story and IGN New Flashes.

Hell, I'd like ISN from 3040 and moving up. Doesn't effect us that much, but gives some more fluff and is enjoyable. Then, when they're ready to, ramp the briefs up to 3049 before restarting the timeline.

agreed I am not asking for a book being delivered every day from isn but just a little bit of info on this day in "history". jeez I would settle for today " the commander of the eradian light horse dog died while retrieving a toy from the lake" just gave us reason to check in everyday almost like turning on the news

It would also be cool if it was a different RSS feed than the main one so I could put it on our site.

Since they abandoned their timeline they touted for so long, you know after development couldn't keep pace, I wouldn't hold your breath for an "Inner Sphere News" being anything more than "Fluff".

Good Luck...
